7:00 pm
embassy in london in which he discusses a very broad range of topics. you're going to freak out a little bit because yes i bring in that part of the pool but most of the wall color about a result was. the same absolutely we were in the market. for broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r g international and john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. the it world anti-doping agency has voted to reinstate russia's anti-drug agency the body was suspended in two thousand and fifteen over an alleged state sponsor to go ping scandal my colleague collin bray got more details from our sports correspondent alexey. going back after twenty fifteen november when the allegations of state sponsored doping campaign kicked off. after that why the basically told there are thirty one things recite it
7:01 pm
has to do in order to be reinstated there's been no problem whatsoever with the twenty nine of them which included inviting the u.k. and i don't think agency experts to hold training for the personnel change the entire staff. hold monthly orders by the world anti-doping agency no problem whatsoever the two things that remained. the compliance list were public admittance of the findings of the mclaren report and here is what the sports minister mystical of course we caught up with him earlier had to say about that the decision is crucial for russia we've worked for a long time together with the international anti doping agency sports community we have reformed doping system we never denied the existence of anti doping violations we will fully contribute to fulfilling the demands left on the rushes legislation and in fact explained it in detail in that statement which it was. earlier today
7:02 pm
saying that on september thirteenth the russian minister of sport sent a letter to wada which amounts to an acceptance of all the findings of the international living could be to report which itself indorse the core findings of the water commission the mclaren investigation board including that and number of individuals within the ministry of sport and its subordinate entities were involved in the manipulations of the anti-doping system in russia you can see that this was enough to persuade wada to reinstate restart and the second point very important one was granting access to ring samples kept in the moscow board story under federal investigation that hasn't happened yet but what it was very clear that it has only until december thirty first which is less than four months from now to give access to that the board sorry if that doesn't happen. goes back into the wilderness of noncompliance so you know people are saying that russia hasn't comply and. you know they're wrong basically because we can see by the statement that it's
7:03 pm
in the works but it couldn't just be about ticking boxes on the checklist musta been a difficult decision after everything everybody's been through and that it's definitely been a very difficult decision for water and even in that statement. that the decision would be unpopular and would be met with a lot of criticism and in fact for the past week or so the criticism coming towards was way you know everywhere on social media in the in the articles on television. not only that number of and i don't think agencies in the world including the u.k. the united states new zealand australia poland canada they were all urging the president of water not to take the step to reconsider but eventually nine members of the executive board off twelve voted for risottos these statements two of them were against it one of them clearly is the vice president of water who said that she would never vote for him statement and one person abstained but even now the amount of criticism on water is going through the roof namely the u.s. anti-doping agency chief. he went as far as saying that water needs to be
7:04 pm
completely reformed after that decision it's a blow to clean sport which you know is surprising because how would you expect the country to purify its sport if you're saying that its agency which is destiny which is tasked to purify the sport should not be operational again. the decision that it made was a hard one but it made the decision and now the hard work begins a good news tentatively the what about the school side of things international expect a ration the russian athletes themselves what's next for them you know i would say people who are criticizing why they're heavily now are wrong and people who are celebrating this on this side are wrong as well it's not about a win it's not a last minute goal that russia scored to win the game it's a chance that wada gave to the russian anti-doping agency to have pure clean sport in the country this would change nothing for those athletes who have been accused of doping are serving their bans this is all about clean it's the door is not shut open for them it's only they've been given the chance to open the door into the
7:05 pm
sport because one of the main conditions of the international association of athletics federations to reinstate the russian athletes was that it should be operational meaning that you know athletes have to be checked for doping in order to be clean and in order to be participating international competitions flying the russian flag so essentially this happened now but a lot of work is ahead and make no mistake about it now risotto will be heavily scrutinized and will be heavily checked by wada so it's definitely a long road ahead the deputy head of russia's anti-doping agency says the organization has gone to great lengths to ensure compliance. it's been a lot of work this saga has lasted for almost three years a lot of things have been done the russian anti-doping agency now has a completely needs team it's been hard work for russia sports ministry as well as wada they're provided international expertise to rebuild the capability of russia's anti-doping agency for mine. points it's a well earned i think terry and it's not
7:06 pm
a victory of just one and it's here is the logical result of all the hard work of those involved the reinstatement of rules of the and this is a point indeed indeed whole story and i see a good we will hope the russian blitz too good to. go championships and i've seen the she's a to celebrate a lot of restructuring that has been made and and all the points that. request that. i see in d.c. is what makes this decision very important it shows that there is a willingness to change seeing and i've seen pieces what comes. the us has imposed a new sanctions on china for buying up russian fighter jets and surface to air missiles came up and picked up the story for us china slapped with sanctions in response to their purchase of gas thirty if the su thirty five fighter jets as well
7:07 pm
as an s. four hundred missile system now heather nauert the spokesperson for the u.s. state department says this is about deterring countries around the world from doing business with russia's defense industry and let's take a listen to what heather nauert said explaining these new sanctions on china in response to their purchases will continue to vigorously implement countering america's adversaries through sanctions act and urge all countries to curtail relationships with russians defense and intelligence sectors both of which linked to the line activities worldwide now china is not the only country in the world to have purchased the s. four hundred missile system from russia it's important to note that turkey which is a member of nato and a longtime u.s. ally has also purchased the ass four hundred missile system now heather nauert was pressed on that and this is what she said you know it goes against our. see to have
7:08 pm
a nato allies such as turkey use an asse four hundred system part of the problem with that is that it is not in iraq robel with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase us four hundred said it would trigger carrots and i'm not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world but it's not just turkey in fact india is currently in the final stages of purchasing an s. four hundred missile system of its own and there are a number of us allies around the world that are also planning to buy as four hundred missile systems we will look at it saudi arabia a very key ally of the united states in the middle east is in the process of buying us four hundred missiles so as could tahrir and iraq the question must be raised why is it that shi'a is being slapped with sanctions for its purchasing not just of the s four hundred but also the su thirty five jet fighter but the question is why
7:09 pm
are these other countries not being subject to sanctions is the united states actually prepared to enforce these sanctions across the board against anyone who would buy these missile systems or is it being enforced selectively. it lead to a memo from within the u.k. conservative party that has revealed a plot to oust the prime minister it was first published by the telegraph newspaper and lists possible successors for treason or days politico has more big question as to who comes next that appears to be the question that the conservative party is mulling over privately and run that actively on that have whatsapp conversations that seems to be where all the political posturing takes place nowadays and the list has been leaked to the press and it goes through all the potential candidates to succeed to resume a and that says i believe we can tell you through some of the candidates now let's
7:10 pm
take a look at the fast ones which. bookies fruit after a jury could breathe smoke but the front runner never wins that's really interesting because as you heard boris johnson is the bookmakers favorite but he's controversial within the party but he's got sort of this strange leeson ceaseless. heal but as you saw there they're saying the favorite never wins so let's take a look at the next person on the list job that. trying to recover from referendum positioning or the current home secretary now of course is sajid javid does the post that to reason may have for six years before she became prime minister so it is seen as a doorway to the premiership he's young he's made some welcome changes in the home office he's kind of emerged as a real possibility to succeed although he has one thing going against him and that is that he is a lever that someone who voted to remain but is now committed to leaving
7:11 pm
which doesn't sometimes doesn't convince the hardcore leavers so let's go to the next politician that is the current foreign secretary take a look at what the list said about him jeremy hunt course near the front of the park coming up on the roof so that's the current foreign secretary but he was formally the health secretary and he's seen as a bit of a political survivor despite the fact that he presided over the junior doctors scandal here so he's not likely to have many fans amongst the medical profession but as the list goes on to point out he is a real dark horse in this potential race to succeed to reason may and then last but not least we have the current defense secretary take a look at what the list says about him. in full campaign mode but very reliant on controlling her own departure point so yet given williamson is very much
7:12 pm
treasonous favorite. but the likelihood of her having a say in who succeeds succeeds isn't seen as very big to me i have to say this all reads a bit like i'm burned from the movie mean girls but the list is important because it appears to confirm that regardless of the mechanics of it and how it happens britain is leaving the e.u. in march twenty nineteen added it it appears that once this quite frankly task is over once the poison chalice of briggs it can at least be pushed a little bit to the side the party is going to want a fresh face to take it forward now downing street in the conservative party never normally comment on leaks we've approached them about it we've asked them about it downing street have said asked the conservative party the conservative party have said speak to downing street about it so it doesn't look like there's much desire
7:13 pm
to talk about it and i think the list pretty much speaks for itself. if anyone has been released which is that the last two to have been produced by wiki leaks founder julian assange before his internet access where access was cut off by the adoring embassy in london where he has been holed up since two thousand and twelve in the video as ours covers a range of topics from the future of artificial intelligence to modern cyber threats. you're going to freak out a little bit because yes we entirely except that he can and will face any process within the u.k. related to potential bio proceedings but he should be able to do that with the assurance that he will not be extradited to the united states to face prosecution for having exercise internationally protects rights of free speech to publish material in the public interest ukraine's president is suing the b.b.c. the story much more after a short break this is our two international. what
7:14 pm
politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted over checked. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to. have to go right to be
7:15 pm
crushed this is like the full story of the more people. interested always in the waters in the age. friendship. welcome back this is our team international a ukrainian president petro poroshenko is suing the b.b.c. for libel over allegations he paid to meet donald trump and hawkins has store guessing that one on one meeting with the leader of the free world himself is a priority for many world leaders as it was for ukraine's president poroshenko last summer russia and ukraine remain firmly in global headlines so get in that chats handshake and photo opportunity with trump early some say before flooded me a putin was crucial. as new sanctions against russia
7:16 pm
were announced and the president spoke of how productive discussions had been some officials behind the scenes may have breathed a sigh of relief mission accomplished but reports of most at the meeting that may have been arranged unconventionally according to the b.b.c. diplomatic routes would have given poroshenko little more than a photo opportunity so ukrainian officials opened a back channel through a chain of contacts including trump's lawyer michael cohen now facing numerous federal charges to secure that tete a tete and the latter would take a handsome cut for penciling a meeting into trump's story allegedly around four hundred thousand dollars another story citing top official sources in ukraine featured on the b.b.c. back in may this year but it seems the ukrainian president's office wasn't happy with the revelations the head of state's office is apparently suing the broadcast
7:17 pm
the for libel since low correction or apology was issued the allegation that the claimant was guilty of serious corruption is self evidently an extremely grave and serious one it has also caused him consider would distress an embarrassment since yeah negations strikes at the core of his personal dignity and integrity. understandably all parties involved the noida any such shady dealings ever took place the b.b.c. couldn't offer any more details on the allegations although the ukrainian side house confirmed the high court case whatever the outcome it's sure to add to a cocktail of intrigue growing areas and speculation already surrounding trump's first term in office. in french court has ordered national front leader marine le pen to undergo a psychiatric test is connected to twitter posts she made three years ago which show victims of islamic state dubinsky is in paris with details well those
7:18 pm
photos were published towards the end of two thousand and fifteen just weeks after the paris attacks in the november of that year and it came of a criticism from a t.v. journalist who tried to say that le pen's party which was then called the national front was essentially the same thing as the terror group isis over so no. fronts she tweeted those pictures along with a statement saying this is trying to distance her party away from that group well since her immunity as an m.e.p. was lifted earlier this year she is now facing those charges of circulating violent messages that could incite terrorism or seriously harm human dignity and as a result of this ongoing investigation the court has ordered her to have psychiatric assessment to see if she can understand remarks and respond to questions she's furious as are many people on twitter. we learned that justice is
7:19 pm
ordering a psychiatric examination of marine le pen for tweets targeting isis and after that we're giving lessons on democracy to poland and hungary subject political rivals to psychiatric treatment that's more like brushing your attorney orders a psychologist for marine le pen i have no words solidarity with her and the french who love freedom or judge's orders a psychiatric assessment of marine le pen i thought it was fake it's incredible psychiatric zation of political opponents is an old communist practiced practiced in the u.s.s.r. until one thousand nine hundred seventy s. well during the pan is said that she will refuse point blank to go along to that court mandated psychiatric assessment and she's also suggests that they could be some political motivations for that call that assessment because let's not forget we are leading up to the european parliament in twenty nineteen where parties like the national rally are hoping to make big gains but of course if she is found
7:20 pm
guilty of all of that offense which is circulating violent messages that incite terrorism or seriously harming human dignity then she could face three years in jail up to three years in jail and a fine of seventy five thousand euros this is deemed as a potentially very serious offense here in falls into with. this is political persecution nothing else her parody was grew surely insulted by someone who said it was just a scene there was a scene kind of thing. so she say you know we're not terrorists use the terrorists and we're not like that these pictures have been all over the public she wasn't revealing anything i mean children go on the internet these pictures have been all over the internet she was instantly throwing in children pictures that they couldn't have seen otherwise the whole system is totally prejudiced against
7:21 pm
hers i think. it's a good argument to vote for her in the next elections because you know the european elections matter that much but freedom of expression does matter and so now it's become really a question of whether a political opponent can can exist so i mean this is nothing but political theater it's absolutely disgusting. are those of her male be back in just over thirty four minutes with a full attention as you watch out international stay with us. you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the
7:22 pm
truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. ministry's police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation that does my mike was hoping the board doesn't inform them in the eyes of the god of this company this is how the guns get into the. woods as that's either the on into this it's a must assume by being proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that is such a security risk when you have a black box operating in the public eye to microsoft dependency puts governments under a cyber threat and not only that. mole will close off the civil service of the zoo selling the only one who won't. be. able to misuse the word was. with. the police and this is the.
7:23 pm
